Battlefield

Avanti immediately rebuked her brother's words, she said it was impossible for someone to grand a whole bag of grains within a short time space

Abhishek however still didn't care, he repeated the same words and stormed out.

Pinky ran after him, Mrs. Anuradha grinned with so much pleasure and winked at me.

Avanti sees that and wants to battle her mother.

I begged her not to, it's not worth it to fight with someone like her.

How I wish, Abhishek could see his mom's true colors, if he did, I'm sure the truth of who killed Mr. Ajay would come to the open.

Avanti suggested helping me, and she brought out a stool to sit on when her brother screamed her name.

She got up immediately and we both turned and faced him.

Abhishek walks close.

"What exactly were you thinking of doing?"

He squeezed his eyes.

"What does it look like?"

She rolls her eyes at him.

Abhishek turns to me.

"Javelin, do you remember what I had warned you before, don't let me get angry?"

He clicks his fingers.

I inhaled and begged Avanti to leave, she didn't want to but after seeing the look on my face, she left with her brother.

I watched them flee before my eyes.

I got a little settled, I picked a few of the grains and began grounding them.

It took me precisely two hours.

I looked again at the bag and it seemed to get full.

It's so exhausting. I can't possibly live like this.

I decided to take a rest, I rested my back on the wall, and from there, I fell asleep.

While sleeping, pPinkysees me, she dashes out to inform Abhishek.

Abhishek walks in with her, he finds me at the same spot and gets angry.

He rode outside and came back again holding a bucket of ice-cold water.

He slaps it on my face.

I woke up and found angry faces staring at me.

Avanti ran in late, Mrs. Anuradha came in with her and saw my clothes drenched.

"Oh my gosh, what happened?"

She asked.

Pinky happily narrated what happened.

Mrs. Anuradha couldn't help but laugh.

Avanti however couldn't take any more of the humiliation, she pushed her brother away and grabbed my wrist.

"Let go,"

She dragged me outside.

Abhishek comes running after us.

"Avanti, stop right now,"

He says.

She refused to listen and walked me towards my bedroom, we were Just about to get in when Abhishek grabbed her hands."Don't you ever listen, sister?"

He says.

Avanti got upset and pushed him away, she warned him not to get close to us and we rode inside.

She slammed the doors and ordered me to sit on the bed.

"What Is wrong with you?".

She ran her hands through her hair.

"How do you mean,"...

I replied.

Avanti pulled me back up from the bed. She wanted to know why I let her brother act with me in such a rude manner.

I pulled her back.

I know letting Abhishek treat me in such a manner seems to be what I wouldn't normally allow, however, I think acting like the fool will make me gain access to what is happening.

I will have to find out the truth of what happened on the balcony that day, and if Abhishek's humiliation will lead me to the truth, then I don't mind.

I will not let anyone tag me as the murderer, I will not go to jail for someone else's crime.

No way.

I went out of Avanti's room only to hear a conversation between the pinky and Mrs. Anuradha.

They were both talking in the kitchen the moment I came downstairs to grab a glass of water.

I overheard Pinky complaining to Mrs. Anuradha if truly Abhishek wanted to marry someone who wasn't Indian.

However Mrs. Anuradha made a strange comment, she promised Pinky that Abhishek was just marrying me to teach me a lesson.

They had no idea I shook there and listened, there was no way I could let them keep talking without recording it.

I pulled out my phone and just then, Abhishek caught me red-handed.

He screamed my name and came further to drag my phone.

Mrs.. Anuradha and Pinky turned back, there was this fear in their eyes.

Abhishek asked me if I was just about to film his mom, I couldn't say no so I accepted.

Mrs.. Anuradha gets infuriated, she almost slaps me if not for Avantis's interference.

Abhishek took me to a dark room and locked me inside.

I heard his footsteps fading away.

I stayed there for hours until he sent a maid to take me to the living room.

Everyone was seated there, I met the same priest at the temple, who told me about my destiny being in this place.

He saw me coming and asked Abhishek if I was his bride.

Abhishek confirmed and the man laughed.

I'm sure he must be saying, I told you so.

The priest had our horoscopes matched. Abhishek wanted to know the perfect day for the wedding.

The priest looked at me and grinned.

I felt uncomfortable and looked away.

Abhishek gets impatient, he wants to know if everything is normal.

The priest assured him that mine and his horoscopes her of a perfect match.

Pinky frowned her face. Mrs. Anuradha rolls her eyes at him.

The priest further said that the auspicious day of the wedding would be in two weeks.

Pinky immediately fought against it.

Mrs. Anuradha complained that it was too soon to get us married.

Abhishek however didn't get any complaints, he accepted the two weeks and asked his mom to prepare everything for the wedding.

Avanti and I met each other later on the balcony.

She asked me if getting married to her brother would make things less complicated.

Indeed I have no idea, whether it would be less complicated or not, however, what I need now is to make sure, I get Mrs. Anuradhaa and Pinky where ere were exposed for killing Mr. Ajay.

Abhishek sent for us a minute later, and Avanti and I both came down.

We met everyone seated in white and a huge photo of Mr. Ajay was kept on top of a table.

Abhishek asked me to go up to his room and wear the clothes on the bed.

I left without altering a single word

Abhishek bought me a dress and had it right for me to fit in.

I called Avanti to come, she was already dressed and asked if everything was okay.

I showed her the dress Abhishek had bought for me, she saw it was too tight and suggested I wear a different attire.

My western attire.

I thought why not, I got out one of my favorite gowns and walked downstairs to meet the others.

Immediately I came, and everyone stopped and watched me.

Avanti and I stared at each other.

Why were they looking at us, at me to be precise?

Abhishek saw me coming and dragged me up to his bedroom

He slammed the doors shut and said.

"What the hell are you wearing?".
